...Still, the orphanage staff prepared him as best they could: They packed a small box with two sets of clothes for him to take, and his favorite toys, especially a small plastic piano. They also taught him a few phrases of English "How are you?" and "What's your name...

Environmentalism was a very different scene at Harvard when I first unpacked my bags in stately Greenough Hall, and I was a very different person.

The massive, U.S.-led security operation in Baghdad has brought some relief. The daily death toll, which had risen to 100 last fall, has dropped. Sunni terrorists continue to kill innocent civilians with car bombs and suicide attacks, but at least the Shi'ite militias have melted away.
